We have lived a life of ruining the world. Pollution and waste are at the worst high and worst of all, we aren’t really aware of it. We need to bite the bullet and strive for a greener world.

There’s a company called Brammo which is producing a motocycle. That’s nothing new. But it’s an all-electric bike! Currently, it only has about 42-mile range and requires about 4 hours to recharge. That’s lame, you say. But it’s perfect for commuting to work. The downside is that it is expensive at $10K. But you will practically pay nothing on fuel anymore. And as it gets revamped, the cost will come down. It’s this kind of progress and direction the world needs to make.
Another cool idea that’s coming around is making ethanol out of garbage! That’s ingenious! I do believe that alternative energy source is the future in saving the Earth from dying. I hope we all try to contribute in saving the Earth.
